More information:
The Western Regional LGBTQIA College Conference will be one of the only
regional educational efforts to address the health and safety of
lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex individuals. The conference
will
reach young people all over California and the western region of the
United
States, while bringing needed attention to such issues as hate crimes,
health and family issues, and the empowerment of young people to
challenge a homophobic and heterosexist world. The conference will reach out
to
heterosexual allies in our schools, faith organizations, and cultural
communities to raise awareness and address social issues.

Keynote speakers for this year’s conference include: Monroe France,
Lani Ka’
ahumanu, and Emi Koyama.

Saturday evening entertainment includes Deep Dickolective, a queer hip
hop
group; King Heat, a drag king event created by Fast Friday Production’s
Sile
P. Singleton; all followed by dancing.

All events will be held on the main UC Davis campus in the Memorial
Union
and Freeborn Hall. Pre-registration ends February 4, 2005. On-site
registration is available pending availability.
